The PUMA EVOSpeed lives up to its name. My daughter went for the black and orange. They are snug so go a half size bigger. The show is very smooth so the ball can slip off but if the kick is solid they are right on target. The shoe is very light and sole is extremely flexible. This allows for nice comfort and excellent balance with quick moves guaranteed. The shoe is high quality and the cleat layout allows for easy moves in mud, firm, hard, and slick ground surfaces. My daughter loves the shoes. They are comfortable and because very few people would by the black and orange she is noticed. The Puma Evospeed would be superior to the Adidas F50's (F10 version) she had last year. We play year round so comfort is key so we do not have to buy multiple shoes each year. Puma is a favorite just go a bit bigger and you will love them too.

We returned these because we purchased larger sizes due to other reviews stating that they ran small. We ended up buying a different style. They are true to size in my opinion. My daughter loved them but they were too big.

I was very pleased with these shoes. I purchased them for my grandson and he thinks they're magical. He feels that they give him super speed!

I agree with the previous reviewers who said this shoe runs small. For my kiddo with a wide forefoot and narrow heel, they were also cut too narrower and her heels were slipping out the back. They went back to Zappos.

My son loves them except they run really small. I had to order a size larger.

Perfect. As a runner who does not have a typical runner's body i.e., I'm 5'4ish and 155 pounds. I have a lot of trouble finding shorts that are comfortable and don't ride up. Actually, I'd never found another pair until I found these. For me, these fit slightly below the waist (not truly low-rise, but not at the waist either), and the legs are indeed pretty loose, as another reviewer mentioned. For me, as someone who has fairly large thighs and who wants shorts to stay down when I'm running, this is a good thing. The lack of that extra space is exactly why I hate other shorts. The large fits me perfectly, and now it's either these shorts or long compression shorts for any warm-weather athletic activity. I've tried to find other brands that match up to these, but I haven't found anything as good after 4-5 years of searching. I highly recommend them if you are a curvy runner who has a lot of trouble with shorts riding up: while they still do it a little bit every once in a while, it's enormously better compared to any other non-compression shorts. (If you really want shorts not to ride up, get some 5 or 7 compression shorts, but these are a lot more attractive than those, and arguably more comfortable.) I also have a zillion pairs of these just for lounging around.

Great shorts! They magically don't ride up...ever. They dry quickly, they don't make that typical noisy "swooshing" sound, and they look great. I run 3 miles every day, and wouldn't run in anything else!

Love these shorts. We had to have them for band. I ordered one night at 8:00 p.m. and received them the next day before noon. I am not sure if that is the way it always is done but I could not have been happier. I will definitely to ordering from Zappos again!

This is the second of this style I've purchased. I've tried so many different shorts and these were the only ones that fit me well and were completely comfortable. My legs are short and these were the appropriate length.

These are a little bit baggy in the butt, but the liner inside is a good fit. I have a 34" hip measurement, and I bought a small. Other brands of running shorts that I have fit much better. Normally I think Nike products run a little small, so that's why I didn't go with the XS. These aren't my favorite shorts, but I won't be returning them either. They are comfortable and good for running.

I found this short to be very unflattering-the waistband cut into my sides while the rest of the short was loose and baggy. I like the fit of the Nike Pacer short so much better.

I am a man and I wear these women's shorts. In the 1970s we (boys) wore this exact same style in gym class, basketball team, track, and cross country. I wear them now when I run because they are comfortable. We have to be dry, too. I like the variety of colors (I won't get anything with pink in it). So you should market these for men as well as women.

If you are looking for perfect running shorts you have found them. These are my favorite shorts ever and even after being worn and washed many times they still feel and fit as well as they did the first time I wore them. They are expensive but I will never go back to cheap cotton shorts after finding these. The built in underwear is also a plus.

Great running shorts. I'm 5'1'' 100lbs and wear an XS. I do have to roll the top down once, but I find them to be very comforable.
